We have quite a few really nice riverfront restaurants along the Indian River. Many allow for boat parking and great views. One such restaurant is River Rocks on US1 just north of the Pineda Causeway in Rockledge, FL.

This place is sort of like three restaurant/bars in one. A sit down casual dining restaurant with a great menu....a large covered patio bar with a dockside menu...and an outdoor riverfront seating section that is perfect for cocktails and live music. They do have a really nice dockside menu for those who want to eat on the patio...they have a good wine list...and they offer breakfast/brunch on Sunday starting at 11am. The sit down restaurant offers a nice array of choices from seafood to steaks....and the Veal Osso Bucco is as good as any on the Space Coast.

My suggestion...come down on a warm Sunday afternoon and enjoy a great meal and a few cocktail...you will find yourself coming back often :)

If you have four or maybe six months to wait, which would you choose, new construction or a short sale?

I ask this only because while looking over recent activity in Rockledge, Florida’s Phillips Landing subdivision I noticed most active listings fall primarily into two categories – new construction or short sale.

Of the six active listings in Phillips Landing on June 14th, there were two short sales , three new construction properties and a lone foreclosure.

I will dismiss the foreclosure in this discussion as foreclosures are not the same as either of these.

Several of these homes are very similar. The prices are not that far apart either – perhaps $10-15,000 once you get a reasonable offer signed off by the seller.

The new construction properties are listed with four months as the build out time. If you are lucky a short sale will take at least four months and likely longer.

So, which do you choose, a short sale or new construction in Phillips Landing?

New construction is more of a certain thing – if there is such a thing in real estate! Keep in mind that a short sale, if approved, may take more than four months and is not a sure thing.

If new construction is your choice....

• As with all new construction, I highly recommend you negotiate with builders. Before you visit any new model homes, find yourself a knowledgeable real estate agent to represent you.
• If new construction is a consideration, buyers need to understand there are price differences between “cookie cutter” homes, semi-custom homes and custom built homes which you will find throughout the Viera and Rockledge, Florida area.
